My thoughts are since both the metal rail and plastic rail are nearly identical
other than the conducting rails that they are both deserving of being called
L-gauge. However since there could be some confusion I would suggest adding the
words hobby or play somewhere in the description.
Example
L-gauge, hobby
L-gauge, play
Or
Hobby, L-gauge
Play, L-gauge
Also just for the record. I do not believe that making the track plastic instead
of metal makes it cheap looking. I truly hope that the new lower price points
that the plastic track will provide will allow more kids the chance to play with
a building system that is truly different from any other. The truth is if the
play train idea is a success it will only help our hobby grow.
